Abstract: The method involves applying a test signal to the antennas by means of a transmitter antenna for diagnosis. The resulting set antenna signals are analysed. The test signal is generated with the aid of a transmitter antenna integrated in the antenna plate. The antenna signals set in the other antennas on the basis of this test signal are analysed. The antennas are preferably part of a diversity system with an antenna selected by each diversity processor and connected to a receiver. The test signal is then generated with a signal generator associated with the diversity processor. The test signal may be provided by a transmitter antenna which is galvanically separated from the other antennas. The test signal is preferably a rectangular signal.

Abstract: An electrolocation apparatus is provided for locating a nerve to which
anesthesia may be delivered. The apparatus includes a needle assembly having an
electrically conductive needle cannula non-conductive tube secured over the needle
cannula, and a conductive plating on the tube. The conductors are connected to a
stimulator that generates alternating high and low charge pulses with a constant low
current level. The high charge pulses generate noticeable muscle twitches
immediately after insertion of the needle into the patient. Muscle twitches
responsive to the high charge pulses will peak in magnitude, and muscle twitches
responsive to the low charge pulses will become observable as the needle approaches
the targeted nerve, and will be indistinguishable from the muscle twitches responsive
to the high charge pulses when the needle is in a position for administration of
anesthetic.

Abstract: A surgical operating table has leg sections 3 and 4, which are displaceable about a
vertical axis 64 and a horizontal axis 63 . Each leg section is locked in position by two gas
struts 55 and 56, which lock respectively about the vertical and horizontal axes. Vent buttons
80 and 82 on the gas struts 55 and 56 are connected via push rods 77 and 78 to opposite ends
of a lateral beam 75. The lateral beam 75 is engaged, close to the end coupled to the strut 55
locking about the vertical axis, by a manual release handle 70 beneath the foot end of the leg
section. Lifting the handle 70 displaces the one end of the beam 75 initially and then the other
end, so that the leg section 3, 4 is released for movement about the vertical axis 64 before it is
released for movement about the horizontal axis 63.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a communications adapter
to connect a transmitting and receiving apparatus, such as a
telephone handset, to a ccmmunication line for communication
in a first mode of communication and to a communication
channel for interactive communication in a second mode of
communication. The second mode of communication is non
interfering with the first. The first mode of communication
may be a normal regular telephone communication and the second
mode may be an interactive intercom mode. The invention is
applicable to a telephone system for use in a home or small
office environment. 
     In the specific example of the invention, the adapter
includes a switch relay operable to switch a telephone handset
either to the telephone line or to a communication channel
circuit linking to the intercom communication channel. A
controller in the adapter can respond to a control signal
received over the intercom communication channel to set the
communication channel circuit to route audio signals to an
audio generator. The audio generator will receive audio
signals from the intercom communication channel so that
communication may be made over the intercom channel before the
telephone handset has been switched to the intercom mode of
communication.

IPC: G06T13/20
Filed: 1998-03-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method
for determining collisions between polyhedron objects
represented by their features. Collisions are detected
by determining the relative positions of closest
features between pairs of polyhedra. The present invention
is based upon comparisions of a feature from
one polygon with a Voronoi region corresponding to a
feature of another polyhedron. If a closest point
from each feature is within the Voronoi region of the
other feature, then the two features are the closest
for that pair of objects. If the features are not
within the Voronoi regions, then a new feature for
one of the objects or polyhedra is selected based
upon the position of the features relative to the
Voronoi region. When a feature is of an edge type,
the edge is clipped against the planes defining the
Voronoi region. A new feature is selected based upon
the relative positions of the points where the edge
is clipped to the corresponding features defining the
Voronoi region. In this manner, new features are selected
which reduce the distance between features or
which reduce the dimension of the selected feature
without increasing the distance between features. New
features are selected until the closests points are
within the Voronoi region of the other feature, thus
delining the closest features. The process is repeated
for all pairs of objects and upon movement of any
objects to continuously determine the closest features
between sets of moving objects.

Abstract: This invention relates to a shift lever mechanism (1) used in
driving a simulative running machine. The shift lever
mechanism (1) has a first shaft (32) extending along a first axis and a
second shaft (42) extending along a second axis orthogonal to the first
axis. An operation lever (4) is pivotable about the first axis and
the second axis. The shift lever mechanism (1) further includes a
speed zone setter for variably setting a speed of the running
machine among a plurality of speed zones including a neutral
zone by shifting the operation lever (4), and a torsion spring for
applying a biasing force to bias the operation lever (4) toward the
neutral zone. It is set such that the biasing force exerted by
the torsion spring (34) is transmitted to a pivotal movement of the
operation lever about the first shaft and the second shaft.
Thereby, when the operation lever (4) is shifted in any one of the
available directions, the operation lever is applied with the
biasing force to return the operation lever toward the neutral
zone, thereby assuredly conveying an operator that the operation
lever (4) has been shifted to a desired speed zone.

Abstract: The cylinder lock has a number of radially moveable pins which inhibit the rotation of the cylinder without the aid of a profiled key. The last pin is hollow and a sliding inner pin blocks rotation when the locking pins are correctly positioned unless an electromagnet is activated to withdraw it. The key (4) is inserted in the cylinder (1) aligning the locking pins (9,10) to separate at the circumference of the cylinder enabling the sliding catch (2) to withdraw. The final pin (11) has an inner pin (14) held in a blocking state by the armature (17) of an electromagnet (18). A magnet (27) beneath the first pin switches an electronic circuit by means of a receptor (19) and connecting lead (29). If the coding is correct the electromagnet is activated drawing in the armature and allowing the blocking pin to drop.

more comfort for the user. The seat and back portion may
be moved relative to the supporting framework structure as
a unit in a pivotal motion relative to the framework, or
